This page contains a chapter by chapter summary of '''''[[Tress of the Emerald Sea]]'''''. We hope this summary will make it easier to find specific areas of the book, as well as providing a quick plot refresher for anyone who doesn't want to take the time to reread the entire book.
Note that [[Hoid]] is the narrator of this story and thus "appears" in that capacity in every chapter. He has been excluded from the character lists below unless he appears or is mentioned within the context of the story itself.

[[Aether spores#Verdant|Verdant spores]] slowly begin to flow through the hole and contact the water the cannonball delivered, exploding into a mass of vines. [[Dorp]] comes down to patch the hole with [[Aether spores#Roseite|roseite spores]] then kills any remaining spores with [[silver]].

; Plot Summary
The narrator explains that the ''Crow's Song'' is roughly twice the size and crew capacity of the ''Oot's Dream'' and has two guns rather than one. The convention of referring to most crew as [[Crow's Song#Dougs|Doug]] is established. She asks Doug where the toilet is and otherwise explores the ship. She comes upon [[Fort]] (the quartermaster) and [[Ann]] (the carpenter) inspecting a cannonball and whether any other defective ones were found. Fort communicates through a board in which words appear. They describe the destruction of the ''Oot's Dream'' as an accident, and "not the kind of piracy we signed up for." Ann says at least they aren't being conscripted.

;Plot Summary
In the morning, Crow gives Tress the key to the sprouter's cabin (Tress notes the captain also has a copy). Crow shows her around the worktable and basin and explains that the room is lined with [[aluminum]] to protect the spores from the silver that protects the crew. Tress is delighted to sleep in the private bunk. Huck wakes her complaining that the ship did acquire a cat. She tells him to stick with her for protection, then gets her cups to arrange in the cabin. She hopes that even if this crew doesn't wind up getting her to Charlie, maybe she can at least gather a ransom with them. As she looks at the butterfly cup, she decides she will have to find some other way to free him besides robbery.
Ulaam drops in, and they talk about Weev's experiments and how verdant can be cultivated as emergency food. She asks the doctor what's wrong with Hoid. He explains that Hoid was cursed by the Sorceress, and Ulaam traveled to this planet at his request. She is both excited to learn this and panicked to realize how close she came to leaving without knowing that this crew really could be the key to saving Charlie.
